Chapter 87: Chapter 87: The New Neighbor

Lin Zheyuan began directing people in dealing with the leopard’s carcass, while Wen Wen was lifted onto a stretcher and prepared to be taken to the Hunters Association for treatment.

Lin Lu and Yan Xiu moved to Wen Wen’s stretcher—one ahead and the other behind. Lin Lu pointed her finger and tapped on Wen Wen’s head, angrily saying, "Didn’t you say you couldn’t track this guy down?"

"I really couldn’t track him. I came here to investigate another case. Who knew I would run into him?"

As a detective, being able to lie without a change of expression is a basic skill.

Well... at least the detective Wen Wen admired was like that.

"Hah, liar." Lin Lu didn’t believe Wen Wen’s nonsense, she knew from their first encounter that Wen Wen was good at telling lies.

"How can you say I’m lying? That really hurts my feelings. Lin Zheyuan should be able to sense that there are traces of a vampire in this building. I came here to catch a vampire!"

In detective matters, how could that be called lying? It’s called strategic misleading.

"If there’s no vampire, you’re going to pay for this." Lin Lu gritted her teeth, turned around, and left. She had wanted to show some concern for Wen Wen, but seeing his slick, glib demeanor just made her furious.

"Don’t worry, there will be one!" Wen Wen said loudly.

Standing behind Lin Lu, Yan Xiu stepped forward, poked his finger on Wen Wen’s wound, then nodded.

"The wound is real. Although you carry a great deal of impurity, as a Hunter, you qualify."

"Can’t you see whether it’s real or not, you son of a..."

Before Wen Wen could finish cursing, Yan Xiu had already walked away.

...

After a simple stitching treatment at the Hunters Association, Wen Wen drove home by himself. The Association’s doctors suggested he recover there for two days before leaving, but Wen Wen refused.

Although not as grotesquely self-healing as the Vampire Constitution, the Fox Demon Yao constitution still had a much stronger healing capacity than that of an ordinary human.

After disinfecting, stitching, and applying medication, it wouldn’t take much time for Wen Wen to recover completely, so there was no need to wait any longer.

The doctors at the Hunters Association, having treated many peculiar cases themselves, also did not insist on keeping him after he expressed his wishes.

On the drive home, Wen Wen was full of anticipation, eager to see what Xu Hai could bring him.

Though Xu Hai’s constitution was worthless, Wen Wen wasn’t even interested in trying it, but he was rather interested in Xu Hai’s abilities.

The ability to create and control puppets was probably the strongest power he had captured among the monsters.

If Wen Wen could create puppets like him, many things would become much easier.

At the very least, he could use these puppets to do some simple tasks in the Sanctuary, freeing himself from mundane labors.

He certainly wouldn’t go hunting humans to make puppets, but if people offered themselves willingly, Wen Wen wouldn’t refuse, since the world isn’t lacking people who deserve to die.

After parking the car, Wen Wen, carrying a large bag that contained a rocket launcher, walked up the stairs only to find the corridor somewhat crowded.

"Hey, be careful, handle that fridge gently, and put the TV in the bedroom..."

There was a young man, decked out in black trousers and a violet-colored shirt that screamed flamboyance, slickly grooming himself as he directed a group of domestic workers setting up the apartment next to Wen Wen’s.

That apartment had always been empty, it seemed that Wen Wen was about to have a neighbor.

The workers from the moving company, seeing Wen Wen covered in blood, all instinctively cleared a path for him. In today’s society, with Wen Wen’s appearance, no one dared block his way.

However, the owner of the room was not the slightest bit afraid and waved at Wen Wen warmly, saying, "This is our second meeting, do you remember me?"

"Of course, I remember, I have a very good memory; you’re the ’Club Steel Wire Man,’" Wen Wen said offhandedly.

"Stop calling me ’Club Steel Wire Man,’ my name is Wu Wang!" the Steel Wire Man emphasized.

"Got it, Steel Wire Man," Wen Wen opened the door and walked in.

"How did you become such a mess, all covered in blood? Do you need..." He didn’t finish his sentence before Wen Wen had already closed the door.

The Steel Wire Man touched his chin, looking towards Wen Wen’s door, wondering about something.

...

As soon as he closed the door, Wen Wen dialed Lin Zheyuan’s number.

"What is it now, do you have another problem you need my help with?" Lin Zheyuan said impatiently, noting that although Wen Wen was good at catching monsters, he was also a bit of a nuisance.

Wen Wen looked towards the direction of the door and said, "What’s the background of this Wu Wang, and why is he living next to my house?"

"Wu Wang... He’s a freelance hunter from another city who helped us capture a rare monster. He said he plans to stay in Furong River City for a while, so I let him have that house."

"Did he pick the place himself?"

Wen Wen asked again, suspecting that the Steel Wire Man’s interaction with him had a hidden agenda, as this guy had approached him twice and even lived next to him.

Wu Wang had been ridiculed by Wen Wen before, and unless he was a masochist, he shouldn’t be happily coming over to be mocked again.

Lin Zheyuan asked somewhat strangely, "I chose it for him. That building is our branch’s private property. Since it was vacant next to you, I let him live there."

"Alright then..."

Wen Wen ended the call. It seemed there was nothing suspicious about Wu Wang so far, but Wen Wen still felt uneasy and decided to keep a close watch on the activities there in the future.

He locked the doors and windows, walked into the bathroom, and after making sure everything was in order, Wen Wen entered the Sanctuary.

With a suspicious person moving in next door, Wen Wen naturally had to be more cautious.

Xu Hai was now confined in the Calamity-0001 room, taking over the spot previously occupied by Tao Qingqing. Wen Wen hadn’t been gentle, so Xu Hai had been unconscious until now.

The cell had transitioned from a cold beauty to a loud man in revealing underwear, leaving Wen Wen with an inexplicable sense of loss.

Like Hu Youling’s cell, Xu Hai’s room was also equipped with various essentials for living, such as a bed and a bathroom.

If Tao Qingqing saw it, she would probably feel jealous.

"Heh, if you’re useless, just get ready to live comfortably," Wen Wen said coldly to Xu Hai.

The still unconscious Xu Hai inexplically shivered.

Wen Wen first checked the condition of the other monsters; there were no problems, except that he hadn’t fed Hu Youling all day, and she was now a bit hungry.

After preparing dinner for her, Wen Wen had no other tasks, so he went to the Central Area to start testing Xu Hai’s abilities.

The usefulness of his abilities would directly determine how comfortable his life would be in prison.
